yeah its started snowing and sleet in aberdeen aswell
Just to buck the trend, it is bright sunshine in the West of Caithness.:p
Sunshine here in the centre too, bit of a flurry earlier but nothing to write home about.....the best is yet to come. :p
was lashing down with rain now sunny;)
Tugmistress - stand up & take a bow. :grin:
It's been snowing in Wick - just a few flakes in amongst the sleety stuff - but it was def snow. Plenty more to come by the look of the sky at the moment too - though the sun is trying to struggle through.

If it makes any of you feel better, here in Southern California it is bucketing with rain, and pretty windy too.
Here in Bower we've had hailstones, but even if it does snow the ground is that wet the snow won't lie for long. :grin:

Well Tugmistress it's hit us now..
Any snow up in Thurso yet?
Hail shower at present, with sleet and wet snow. But I think this is the start of it.
You cant see the Ord as the camera is snowed over.

your best bet is go to the same site as the ord webcam, traffic scotland, and look for the traffic news, weather and anything else relevant :)

Looks very promising Tugmistress
emszxr as tugmistress says try http://www.trafficscotland.org/index.asp. and listening into all the traffic reports will keep him well informed regarding road conditions, most car radios now have a TA switch which allows traffic information and announcements to take priority over the programme you are listening to
Been snowing for about 15 min now....is this it? Is this what we've been waiting for? Er.......probably not, looks like its stopping. :confused
Always wondered what the white stuff was each year
1.45 PM jUST GOT OUR FIRST FLAKES OF THE WHITE STUFF HERE IN LINCS.
down 22 inches from last year!!...Erie, PA, USA, it starts in October usually, and stops in April!!!...Oh, well.......
yeah I'm out to buy a sledge!

Great to read your post Joefitz. I live about an hour north of Buffalo. Indeed we have had almost no snow this winter, although there is plenty in North Bay. I have to drive to Stroudsburg in a few weeks. I hope that this mild winter continues a bit longer. Wet Appalachians aren't any fun for driving.
Loads of snow here in Kincardineshire. Schools had the day off and looks like they'll be off tomorrow.
well it is certainly snowing now!!

Don't know when did it start with yous, north school just closed
I quite like the snow, but there's none here in the land of Krieve's bridge.
Today is our third consecutive bright sunny day. It's fabulous weather - cold and crisp, with barely a cloud in the sky - it's truly wonderful. :)
It snowed for about 15 minutes early yesterday afternoon, but that was it. Long may it stay that way.

Yes it is. I trained my dog to show restraint around livestock some time ago. The birds are quite used to him now.:o)
Oh good for you, must make going for walks so much easier.
Can you please train my spaniel? :o He's a lovely little fella, answers quite good most of the time but let him off the lead and he's away like the wind! Think I'll have to enter him for dog racing! :lol:

Iis beautifull here too .Cloud just starting to role in from the north,fresh snow fell last night on top of hard frost,so all the sun is doing is melting top layer.Kids still off school and are having a great time:Razz
The view from the window is something like out a mag or film,must learn how to post pictures.
I thought that was you on the bridge jumping of it drszin lolLol, no. Even I'm not that daft...
We've been sitting out in the sun after lunch - it's warm as long as you keep out of the wind.

Your the "numpty" Saxo' with photos of your wheelie bins. At least Rheghead is keeping us informed of the weather conditions.
Serious blizzard conditions exist in Watten area. Disruption likely. :p

does anyone know how long this is going to last I love the snow but the kids have been off since Tuesday,easter not that long away and there off fot another fortnight!!!
Must make myself a small sensation back in a minute:p
Can't understand why the kids are sent home so easily. My daughter has to drive into the town to work from the country, yet she has to leave her kid with me. Her partner has to drive to dounreay to work, yet kids who live in the town can't go to school - crazy.

snow showers through the weekend, meltdown starting roughly tuesday unless things change :grin:
The snow has reached Krieve's bridge at long last. We have white-out too - big fluffy flakes are falling after a cold night. It'll stick all right, but who knows how long it'll keep snowing for - the forecast on the BBC website is for sunshine and white clouds today!
There goes my lunchtime run. [disgust]

I used to have a recurring dream about a ski resort on Arthur's Seat. There were lifts and skiers everywhere, but there was never enough snow. I'm looking out of the window in the direction of Arthur's Seat right now, but I can't see a thing. Maybe it's been stolen by the gang that nicks snowmen in Wick. :cool:
Is the snow sticking in Hibeeland? It's been snowing less than 15 mins on the south side and everywhere's white already.
Why not? :confused:

Ah come on Doc, how long have you lived in Auld Reekie? The Calton hill has a reputation, I would not go up there especially in the hours of darkness, maybe you would stumble over a few of Gleebers cheerful cowboys in their sleeping bags. [para]

[para]I did wonder whether that's what you were alluding to, but I reckoned it didn't have much connection to skiing in whiteout conditions.
Well, the sun came out at lunchtime here, there was several cm of top-quality snow, so we had ourselves a snowball fight.
We invited SweatyBetty but she didn't turn up. :roll:
